Abstract
Removable fiber management devices for fiber optic housings, and related components and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a fiber management device is provided that comprises a base and at least one fiber management component disposed above the base. The fiber management device also comprises at least one attachment device disposed in the base and configured to be received in a fiber optic housing, and configured to be removed from the fiber optic housing. In another embodiment, the fiber management device comprises at least one first fiber management component disposed above the base and configured to manage optical fiber(s) in a first level above the base, and at least one second fiber management component disposed above the base and configured to manage optical fiber(s) in a second level above the first level. Related methods and fiber optic housings having the fiber management device disposed therein are also provided.
